BT FOSCOE FAWCETT.
In the annual midwinter regatta ol
the Portland Motorboat Club, yester
day on the Willamette River, the Ore
gon Wolf, driven by Johnny E. Wolff,
hero of scores of thrilling aquatic en
counters, successfully defended Its
free-for-all Pacific Coast championship
title against the challengers, the 28
foot Vamoose, of Rainier, and the
Coast champion 20-footer, the Swastika,
of Portland. In the second race, lim
ited to hydroplanes In Its own class, the
Swastika romped in an easy victor.
The Oregon Wolfs time for the 20
miles, seven turns, was 28 minutes and
14 H seconds, or almost identically
the same average speed, 42.5 miles an
hour, maintained by the Wolf when It
broke the world's record for 30 miles
last February 22. Designer Wolff de
clares, however, that he could have
pushed his boat close to 45 or 46 miles
an hour, had he been hard-pressed.
The record for a 20-mile race is in the
neighborhood of an average of 46
miles, held In the East.
Swastika Two Miles Bark.
The Swastika, which finished second
to tho Wolf, trailed along fully two
miles In the rear when the Wolf
crossed the line, while the 39-foot
champion had at least a half mile
margin on the "Vamoose when Captain
Milton Smith was forced to beach his
boat as a result of collision with a log
under the Hawthorne-street bridge at
the 15-mlle turn.
Fully 10,000 enthusiasts braved the
drlnly, chilly afternoon to get a peek
at the great buzzing trio of space de
stroyers. Every bridge was packed
with its load of umbrella-topped hu
manity; every dock and steamer along
the course boasted Its special contin
gent of rain-soaked spectators, while
dozens of smaller craft darted hither
and thither over the river surface,
whenever the patrols relaxed their vig
ilance even for a minute.
Siarp at 2:50 o'clock Starter L. M.
Meyers sent the three great hydro
planes off on their death-defying ca
reer, the officials' boat, the Artisan,
being anchored in midstream between
the Hawthorne and Morrison bridges.
' Snantlka Takes Polr.
With a roar andbang like the Tread
well stamp mill In operation, the three
hydros tore downstream, the boxlike
Swastika on the pole, the long, lean
Wolf second, and the greyhound Vam
oose on the outer edge. Whistles
tooted, thousands of lungs added to
the din and confusion, and a brass
band brought from Rainier by the
Vamoose delegation aboard the Iralda,
shrieked forth its music as a final
message of good cheer to the VamooBe.
Before the racers had passed the
Morrison bridge it was evident that,
barring accidents, the Wolf would win.
Navigator Wolff, with his trusty pilot,
Orth Matholt. at the wheel, pulled
steadily away, all nine cylinders of
his 250-horsepower engines chugging
in a rhythmic tattoo.
On the first flve-and-one-quarter-mlle
lap the Wolf led the Vamoose by
100 yards, while the Swastika, owned
by Bob Cox, boomed away fully ,600
yards to the rear.
Vamoose Forced to Quit.
From that on the procession main
tained the above order up to the 15
mile point, when the Vamoose sud
denly veered from its course and shot
hurriedly for the shore with flames
belching from exhaust pipes.
The several thousand spectators
on the Hawthorne bridge direct
ly over Captain Smith's varnish
calored 26-footer, Immediately set up
a call of fire but the Rainier navi
gator said afterwards that he had
truck a piece of flotsam, putting his
steering-gear out of good working or
der. The Wolf circled the first lap of
five and one-quarter miles in 7:14 min
utes, the second lap in 14.51 minutes,
the third In 22:09 minutes and drew up
at the finish tape, minus the eighth
turn, in 2S:14K minutes. Game to the
core, the Rainier band serenaded the
victor at the finish. Johnny Wolff
declares he did not push his battle
scarred hydroplane because of the $260
side bet which the Oregon Speedboat
Company had wagered with the owners
of the Swastika. "I could have crowd-,
ed the Wolf three or four miles faster
with ease." said he, "but what'B the
use? We won, and there was no use
In risking the $250 side bet."
"It must have been terribly cold
driving that boat without gloves on
your hands?" was Mayor Rushlight's
greeting to the winner as Wolff clam
bered aboard the Judges' boat after the
race.
New Plaae Is Effective.
"Cold, well I should say It was,"
replied the famous builder and design
er, his teetb chattering as though with
the ague. "My hands were so numb
at the finish that I could hardly work
my carburetors. I could have made 45
miles easily today. My boat was two
miles faster than it would have been
had the races been pulled off as orig
inally scheduled on New Year's day.
you see, I have substituted one big
plane for the five which formerly
adorned the Wolf's bottom, but this
wing I found by experimenting: was
tilted too steeply for the greatest ef
ficiency. ' "I think the choppy water greatly
affected the chances of the two Bhorter
speedboats." he added. "Both the Va
moose and the 20-foot Swastika, partic
ularly the latter, pounded heavily in
the lower harbor."
Otto Ranft drove the Vamoose, while
Captain Milton Smith held the tiller pn
his Rainier speeder. The Vamoose is
equipped with 130-horsepower. six-cylinder
engines borrowed from the Wig
wam II. of Astoria, tor this race. Hen
ry Dickson and Allen White comprised
the crew of the Swastika, whose en
glnes are left-band twins of the Va
moose's. both originally having been
salvaged from the Chip II. of New
York.
Swastika TVIna 20-Foot F.Tft
The owners of the Swastika, while
deeply chagrined at the failure of
their chubby chugger to capture the
tree-tor-all event, at least had the sat
isfaction of knowing that their 20-foot
Coast champion has a big edge on all
craft in Its class.
In this 20-foot event Mr. Cox' boat
finished first with ease, leading the
Vogler Boy by four miles at the finish
of the ten-mile race. The Sprar II,
owned by Ray Neuberger, had engine
trouble before completing one turn and
withdrew, but It was almost a mile be
hind the Swastika then.
The Swastika made the first lap In

RANGERS ON STRIKE
Wine Members Refuse to Play
on All-Star Soccer Team.
GAME WITH NATIONALS OFF
League Committee Will Xot Put
More Than Two Cricketers on
Representative Eleven and
Favored Men Withdraw.
Nobody showed up for the annual
championship vs. all-star soccer game
of the Portland Soccer League, origi
nally scheduled for Sunday, and the
refusal of the nine Bangers to play
on the so-called all-stars will be the
chief subject for discussion at a special
meeting of the board of directors to
night in the Mohawk building.
The game was called off in midweek.
When the committee met last Mon
dav. it picked, as usual, a team from
the other elevens to piay me cnampions
of the league. It has always been
known as an all-star team, and on this
occasion the Rangers were represented
by nine players, while the Cricketers
had but two.
That had nothing to do with their
refusal to play, the Rangers assert, as
BIRTHDAY CftNGRATClATIONS.
K. K. McArthur.
Kennedy K. McArthur, the world's
champion Marathon runner, was born
In Dernock, County Antrim, Ireland,
January 13, 1SS3. In tho opinion of
many experts McArthur la the great
est of all long-distance runners.
Measuring six feet in height and
tipping the beam at 174 pounds, he Is
anything but of the Hayes-Dorando
type of runner. McArthur has never
lost a race, but his career has suf
fered many a hard knock. He went
to Greece to take part In a Marathon
that never took place, and then
Journeyed to England to participate
in a race that was called off be
cause of the death of King Edward.
M ("-Arthur's fame rests almost wholly
on his victory in the Marathon race
at the Olympic games In Stockholm
last year. In which he set np a new
Olympic record by covering the dis
tance In two bours. 86 minutes and
84 4-5 seconds.1 When not devoting
his time' to athletics McArthur is. a
policeman In the Transvaal.

was said In one of the papers. ' It was
simply because they objected to the
use of the phrase "all-star." They asked
for a team to be picked, composed or
five Cricketers and six Rangers and
to be called a representative team.
'Naturally the committee could not
see their way to grant such a request,"
said a member of the committee yester
day. "Thereupon they changed their
request to a demand, which was re
fused. Upon this they withdrew their
men.
"The Rangers cannot expect to dic
tate to the league, which Is what their
conduct amounts to, and their refusal
to play Is at best poor sportsmanship."
The other important question to De
decided tonight Is whether the league
shall pick a team to play the Seattle
All-stars. The Nationals were invited
to meet the Seattle men, but. In a
sporting way, preferred to give the
league an opportunity first.
In any case, a game seems assured,
as the Seattle men are willing to come
for any reasonable guarantee, some
time in February, or even later.

advantage.
Portland got him from New Orleans
In mid-season, the Pelicans being wil

surly disposition.
Leverenz and Miller are both high

found with them being their "in-and--out"

Patterson doesn't impress some Coast
players as a probable major leaguer.

pitching staff, says Patterson will

DILIOX WlXIi PLAY NO MORE
"Pop" Says He Will 3Ianoge From
Bench, but May Pinch-Hit,
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12. (Special.)
Frank Dillon is through with baseball
as a player. The veteran leader of the
Angels made this definite announce
ment today. He' declares he will here
after manage the club from the bench,
and that he will never take part In the
game except as a pinch hitter. "And
even those occasions wll be few," he
adds. '
During the 1912 season Dillon
showed that he was anxious to take a
rest. When Charley Moore came to the
club, Dillon took to the bencb, giving
Moore first call at the initial station.
Now Moore has been displaced by Dr.
Warrren Gill, one of the greatest first
basemen in minor league baseball.
"I have often said that when I found
a better first-baseman than I am, I
would retire in his favor," says Dillon.
"'I have found two of them, Moore and
Gill. There Is no longer any excuse for
my playing, so I shall warm the bench.

LEXTS FIVE QUITS LEAGUE
After Decisive Defeat Manager Says
His Team Is Too Light.
After losing the first scheduled game
with the Weonas, Saturday evening, 38
to 9, Manager Bishop, of the Lents
team, announced the withdrawal of his
quintet from the City Basketball
League, which opened last Tuesday.
A meeting of the league directors
will be called within the next few days,
in an effort to find a team to take
Lents' place. The four remaining
teams are the McLoughlins, Christian
Brothers, All-Stars and Weonas.
The fact that the Lents players were
outweighed more than 15 pounds to a
man Is given as the reason for the
withdrawal by Manager Bishop, of the
Lents., team.
"Our team is far too light to meet
the others In the league," said Bishop.
"We thought that the teams In the
league would average about 140 pounds
to a man, but they are much heavier
than this, and it would be profitless to
send out light boys against them.
"I believe the Brooklyn Athletic
Club basketball team could take up
our schedule, for the Brooklyns have a
five weighing a great deal more than
the Lents quintet. Our men average
140 pounds, while the McLaughlin and
Christian Brothers' College players
make 160 pounds average.
Next Tuesday the Weonas and the
All-Stars play a Scheduled game, and
as neither club has a gymnasium, the
game will likely be played on the
Christian Brothers' Business College
floor. The Christian Brothers' team was
to have met the Lents team and the
floor will be idle on that night unless
the league directors substitute a team
to take the place of Lents.
